When I first met the group of LAGRANT Scholars I was genuinely happy to be surrounded by other students of color with similar goals. It gave me more motivation to excel in marketing and change the perception of the industry and also, to continue to encourage youth to pursue higher education and consider marketing and public relation as an area of study.

Over the two days of the program, I received plenty of insight on the marketing and PR industry and met amazing leaders. I have no doubt that the program positively impacted us all, beginning with the welcome dinner hosted by Waggener Edstrom Worldwide (WE). Pam Edstrom herself gave an awesome speech about her journey in becoming the President of the Microsoft Account Worldwide and Founder of WE, sharing a conveying message to take risks because “if you don’t die, it’s not that bad!”

The second day was filled with a career development workshop led by APCO Worldwide. We were presented with motivational speeches, learned of different projects within the strategic communications firm, and even received a personal tour of the Capitol building.

The LAGRANT Foundation 14th Anniversary Scholarship Recognition Reception and Awards Program included a lineup of very accomplished professionals in the marketing and public relation industries such as Director of Standards and Staffing of USA TODAY and Master of Ceremonies for the evening Brent Jones, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for TE Connectivity and Committee Chair, Joan Wainwright, Executive Vice President of Global Communications and Public Affairs of Marriott International, Inc., Kathleen Mathews and our very own Founder/Chairman of The LAGRANT Foundation, Mr. Kim L Hunter. Powerful words were shared to guide and motivate all of the scholarship recipients to continue chasing our dreams. APCO Worldwide was a wonderful host for the reception providing a beautiful space for presentation and networking amongst representatives and students.

Overall, The LAGRANT Foundation 14th Anniversary Scholarship Recognition Reception and Awards Program was monumental. I am very grateful to have been selected as a 2012 LAGRANT Scholarship Recipient and greatly value my experience during the program.

Its been difficult to accept that Im often a battleground for several sides of myself, which seem to act in opposition to one another. Is there any solution to feeling so divided? Krishnamurti said, In division there is insecurity, in war there is uncertainty. But when the mind sees the danger of division very clearly not intellectually, not emotionally, but actually sees it then there is a totally different kind of action.
